Looks like the Bloomington Pantagraph is finally starting to catch up on the story-
ISU's Clayton, Yarbrough charged with misdemeanor theft
Clayton, 20, was accused of using of concealing property valued at less than $500 that belonged to another person. Clayton was also charged with consumption of alcohol by a minor.
Yarbrough, also 20, was charged with theft in connection with the same incident involving the iPhone. Yarbrough and Clayton were both released on $5,000 personal recognizance bonds and ordered to be back in court Nov. 1.
According to ISU Police Chief Aaron Woodruff, the charges relate to a report of a stolen phone in September by an ISU student. Investigators learned the phone was recently reactivated and were able to determine its general location.
Clayton took the phone and gave it to Yarbrough, according to the police chief. The victim’s wallet also was recovered, said police.
"We are aware of the situation and are handling it internally," said Redbirds coach Dan Muller.
These charges are related to a separate set of incidents from the Deontae Hawkins alcohol-related charges announced yesterday. Hawkins was arrested early Sunday morning and charged Monday with driving under the influence of alcohol, illegal transportation of alcohol and driving with a suspended license.
Apparently, ISU does not have an alcohol policy for their athletes, like most schools do, because these are just 2 more to add to the several other recent alcohol related violations, and nothing ever seems to change.
But interesting to note that ISU and Coach Muller have known about some of these latest developments for a while, and nothing was said until charges were made public yesterday and this morning and first reported here. No suspensions have been announced for Clayton and Yarbrough, and apparently, ISU intends to "handle it internally", which is ISU-speak for "sweep it under the rug".
BTW, this is the 3rd violation for Milik Yarbrough in the McLean County criminal database, as well as now 3 violations for Clayton, they have only been on campus for a few weeks. But both of them have a long way to go to match Deontae Hawkins, who appears in the McLean County criminal database 7 times, plus more in Ohio, where he is from!
And believe it or not, that is not even close to the record for numbers of entries in the database by ISU players the last couple years. There is one player who was only on the roster for 1 season who had 11 arrests/citations, including a second DUI while on probation from the first one. Yet ISU never made this public and he played in 30 games last season!
Here is a picture of the ISU administration, coaching staff, and fans discussing all their mounting player legal issues.
